Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg to Vice President Mike Pence: 'If you got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me -- your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”
Washington Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg on Sunday again took on Vice President Mike Pence -- whose stances on LGBTQ issues have faced criticism from gay rights activists -- saying that if Pence has"a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me -- your quarrel, sir, is with my creator."
Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, made the comments while speaking at the LGBTQ Victory Fund National Champagne Brunch in Washington. He reflected on his personal struggles with his sexuality, his decision to come out in 2015 and the fact that his being gay is not the result of a personal decision. "If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade," Buttigieg said.
